I'm wondering if any of the GM '06 owners here have come up with any interesting uses for the A/C PTO on their coaches. My A/C compressor is still installed and coupled to the PTO, but the condenser is long gone. I've been thinking lately that it could be used to turn an additional DC alternator to supply power to an inverter for powering one of the roof A/C units during travel. What are you fellow '06 owners doing?

I've never had one apart so I'm not familiar with the PTO's bearing design, but since the original AC was shaft connected, I wonder if the PTO would be suitable for the heavy side loads of a large belt-driven load.
